Marlins' Sean Guenther: May need surgery
Rotowire
Guenther is dealing with an arm injury which will likely require surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The nature of Guenther's injury and his potential surgery are not yet clear, but he's been ruled out of contention for the Opening Day roster and will begin the season on the injured list. While the Marlins would certainly prefer him to be healthy, he wasn't shaping up to be a major part of the team's plans, as he struggled to a 9.30 ERA while striking out just 14.6 percent of opposing batters in his 20.1-innings debut last season.
